[Unusual hemolytic-uremic syndrome in an adult].

A 44-year old woman presented with haemolytic-uraemic syndrome due to predominantly arteriolar microangiopathy, with anuria lasting 48 days. The semeiology in this case was unusual: there was no anaemia and only rare schizocytes on admission, blood pressure was normal and anuria was prolonged. The severity of arteriolar thrombosis observed at renal biopsy stood in sharp contrast with the lack of arterial hypertension and the almost total recovery of renal function within three months.
